This note provides the weak-instrument asymptotic distributions of Hahn and Hausman’s (2002) tests for instrument validity. These distributions are used to compute asymptotic rejection rates when instruments are weak and, as a special case, irrelevant. These tests were proposed as pretests, and the asymptotic properties of post-test inferences, conditional on the tests failing to reject instrum...

The main of this paper is to treat the estimation conditional distribution function for functional data. We defined L1 norm estimator. Under some assumption in data analysis asymptotic normality estimator established.

The Cigler simple derivation of the q-Carlitz-Dobinski formula is recalled and it is noticed that the formula may be interpreted as the average of powers of random variable X q with the q-Poisson distribution. In parallel new q-Cigler-Dobinski and psi-Carlitz-Dobinski formulas are introduced. At first let us anticipate with ψ-remark. ψ denotes an extension of 1 n! n≥0 sequence to quite arbitrar...

It is well known that the metropolitan area of Bangkok, Thailand, has been subsiding during the past decades. This ground deformation has been monitored using leveling networks on annual basis since 1978. However, the employed technique is costly, time-consuming, and able to monitor only on a limited number of benchmarks. InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar), which can provide sub-c...

Photosystem I (PSI) from plants, algae, and cyanobacteria has been shown to mediate hydrogen evolution both in vivo and in vitro. We observed that metallic platinum could be photo-precipitated at the reducing end of PSI according to the reaction, [PtCl6] + 4e + hν ⇒ Pt⇓ + 6Cl. This platinum nanocluster can then receive the photo-generated electrons from PSI and function as a nanocatalyst for th...

We prove the asymptotic of logarithmic Bergman kernel. And as an application, we calculate conditional expectation density zeros Gaussian random sections powers a positive line bundle that vanish along fixed smooth subvariety.

This paper studies the properties of the quasi -maximum likelihood estimator (QMLE) and related test statistics in dynamic models that jointly parameterize conditional means and conditional covariances when a normal log likelihood is maximized but the assumption of normality is violated. Because the score of the normal log likelihood has the martingale difference property under fairly general r...

The [PSI+] prion determinant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae causes nonsense suppressor phenotype due to a reduced function of the translation termination factor Sup35 (eRF3) polymerized into amyloid fibrils. Prion state of the Rnq1 protein, [PIN+], is required for the [PSI+] de novo generation but not propagation. Yeast [psi-] [PIN+] cells overproducing Sup35 can exhibit nonsense suppression witho...

Photosynthesis in oxygen-evolving organisms is driven by electron transport through the photochemical reaction centers photosystem I (PSI) and photosystem II (PSII), two large protein complexes located in the chloroplast thylakoid membrane. PSI and PSII each contain an array of light-harvesting antenna pigments that absorb light energy and transfer it to a reaction center core complex, where el...

Motivated by applications in biological science, we propose a novel test to assess the conditional mean dependence of a response variable on a large number of covariates. Our procedure is built on the martingale difference divergence recently proposed in Shao and Zhang (2014), and it is able to detect certain type of departure from the null hypothesis of conditional mean independence without ma...
